showcase invisible artworks
Mason said this about his current main creative project in Nothing is original:
The requirements for the final product assessment were that it needs to show meaning and that you need to document the process of it.
My mind jumped to invisible artworks, described in the List of invisible artworks Wikipedia article as "works of art that cannot be seen and, in many cases, touched." How could those artworks possibly fit the criteria Mason needs to meet?
Consider how the emptiness, intangibility, or absence of an artwork as described contributes to the meaning humans find in it. Then, factor in each additional artist and spectator adding their own interpretation to an already lush landscape.
In my opinion, noticing something missing or displaced from its usual spot is enough to constitute a process. At a bare minimum, artists must conceptualize that idea and then showcase it. However, for more intentional invisible artworks, their process of creation can look more complex than imagined. Extra steps like managing names, materials, and documentation become necessary with more tangible moving parts.
How often have you thought about the sheer expression of what remains invisible, and sometimes, untouchable?
